    What is the fastest eater among mammals?

    Question #78131. Asked by triviaman1195. (Apr 01 07 6:10 AM)

    		The world's fastest eater is the star-nosed mole, capable of eating a snack of worms in 227 milliseconds!

    		Yup...star-nosed mole...

    A report in the journal Nature gives this animal the title of fastest-eating mammal, taking only 120 milliseconds to identify and consume individual food items. Its brain decides in the ultra short time of 8 ms if a prey is comestible or not. This speed is at the limit of the speed of neurons.
